The best out there!
Starla represented me in 2017. At the time I was extremely nervous and her calming nature helped me get through the hard times and trust that everything would be ok. Years since we have talked and I just reached out to her for paperwork as I am buying a house! She responded right away with what I needed and could also tell she was very happy of where I have come. Not only is she a fantastic lawyer but a great person. Highly recommend her services!

Excellent Knowledge and Great
Starla is excellent in communication. Was clear and concise when it came to any issues I needed regarding my Chp 7. Pricing was reasonable, esp. after consulting other firms her aid was worth every penny. The classes, though they're court ordered, are excellent at teach the fundamentals of credit and was a nice refresher to set me up for future credit success.
Only problem I had... I wish I had done this sooner with Starla.

Kind, Compassionate, Understanding, and a Lawyer Who Cares About Client
When I walked into Starla's office 6 years ago, I was completely overwhelmed by debt and felt defeated and terrified. Starla listened to me with compassion and guided me through the process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After our first appointment, I felt as if a weight of worry and grief lifted from my shoulders and that everything would be okay in the end. After the bankruptcy was finalized, she offered practical suggestions to help me rebuild my credit. I have recently reached out to her with some additional questions from my case and for advice on continuing my journey of making sound financial decisions. She continues to give me clear and helpful legal advice in a nonjudgemental manner. I cannot describe fully how grateful I am to her for helping me through some of the most difficult times in my life.

Mrs. Hudacheks Service was UNMATCHED!
Mrs. Hudachek was very professional. She thoroughly answered all of my questions. Her fees are very reasonable. The year 2019 has been an absolute nightmare for me. While feeling completely overwhelmed, I was referred to The Law Office of Starla Hudachek. My stress level has decreased drastically as I know she has my best interest at heart and is helping me through this journey. I have dealt with other law firms but this is a totally different experience (positively). Thank you for your time and dedication to my matter; your service is UNMATCHED!

I would highly recommend Starla to anyone looking for a lawyer in the Baltimore area! Not only was she extremely helpful through bankruptcy 9 years ago, but she has more recently helped us with another situation that came out of no where, relating to our (closed) case. We are thankful and grateful for her advice, her knowledge and her professionalism during very stressful times in our lives. She went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her!

She made what for many is a devastating and troubling time a very easy and smooth process it was like having an old friend standing with us. Thank you Attorney Hudachek

Starla Hudachek is professional and personable. I was very nervous about filing for Bankruptcy, I didn't know what to expect.

She never hesitates to help me. Starla, I can't thank you enough!!

VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEY
When I met with Starla she made me and my fiance feel very comfortable. I was very nervous and embarrassed with my situation and was afraid to discuss anything with anyone. But, meeting with Starla put my nerves at ease. She went over everything that would be expected and gave me her honest opinion about how I should proceed. When we left her office I was informed about how the process would be and how I should prepare before moving forward to make sure I had everything in order. Her prices are also reasonable and helped me to quickly come to the decision that I am making the right choice. Thank you Starla.

A+, Highly recommended to Everyone!!
I am a former client of Starla's. I called her and requested copies of my bankruptcy paperwork which I need because I am buying a house. She responded quickly and I had what I needed. She was pleasant, encouraging, professional, and thorough. She was easily accessible and provided everything that I needed and then some.

Outstanding Representation!
From the moment I walked into Starla's office, I felt comfortable having Starla represent me in a CH 13 Bankruptcy case. She patiently explained the process at the beginning and was present at every turn. Whenever I had a question, she responded very quickly and provided top notch advice. She has my HIGHEST recommendation. If you want your case handled in a professional, caring and thorough manner I don't see how you could find anyone better to represent you.

A Breath of Fresh Air
After having talked to a number of lawyers who grudgingly give you a 15-minute consult (often over the phone) but not much useful information, Starla is a real breath of fresh air. Starla is extremely helpful. She gave us an hour-long free consult in her office and honestly and thoroughly discussed our options. She had a letter ready for us to send to the court requesting a postponement, even before we met her. She was very candid and, in the end, despite the fact that it was not to her own best interest, she showed us that the bankruptcy we were considering was not our best option. What lawyer does that? Only a lawyer you can trust to sincerely look out for your interests. Starla is very kind and thoughtful. Whereas some lawyers make you feel stupid for not knowing as much about the law as a lawyer, Starla explains things clearly without being at all condescending. She makes you feel like you’re talking to an old friend rather than to a lawyer you just met. In our consult she was honest and willing to thoroughly discuss our situation with us – without charging us a penny. Anyone facing financial difficulties and who needs an attorney’s help would do well to talk to Starla. She is one of a kind.

Ms. Hudachek is the best representation out there!
Ms. Hudachek did an outstanding service to me in representation of my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. From the afternoon she first consulted with me, she affirmed that my choice was the best possible move in resolving what accumulated to over a decade of bad debt. She was professional and savvy, while personable and understanding of my debt circumstances - and truthfully, I could not have asked for a better experience or better representation. Starla is, without a doubt, world class. I recommend her services to anyone seeking financial representation!

Broken Widow
I went to a consultation with Starla to look into filing bankruptcy after loosing my husband of 27 years and not being able to continue making payments on our house. She answered all of my questions and explained everything in complete detail. I left her office and I told my son she wasn’t your typical “stuffy” lawyer. She had compassion and truly listened to my concerns. A few weeks later I decided to hire Starla and met with her again where I signed documents and she yet again answered my many questions and concerns and I left her office feeling very confident in my decision. This was a huge load lifted off my shoulders being the fact that unfortunately my husband and I had to file back in 2010 and I felt like such a failer to have to go down this road again after working so hard to have my credit in good standing. The very next day Starla contacted me with some good news that she discovered and have me choices on if I should file or not. I decided not to file. What other attorney would do that? She could’ve just filed for the bankruptcy and been done, but NO! she was looking out for the best for her client! Starla rocks! I would HIGHLY recommended her to my family and friends.
